Comment on Anytype as an alternative to Notion or Obsidian

I just found this yesterday sonic cannot properly give a review on it, but I found Logseq which seems to be a privacy-focused knowledge management and collaboration platform. It seems very promising and reminds me somewhat of Obsidian
I want to like logseq but I’ve been using it for a few days and I just don’t get it.
I get dumping all your shit in the journals and linking it all; I like that and it’s all well and good. But then what? I have to search for shit every time I want to find something? Gross. If I want to look at all my recipes or whatever I have to build a query? No thank you.
It’s the data retrieval piece I’m hung up on, and weirdly no one ever talks about that. Everyone only ever talks about inputting data.
I tried looking for where the company developing Logseq was located and couldn't find any information at all. The only thing I found was this in the T&C

It’s FOSS, I don’t think a particular company is developing it

I’ve been using it for several months by now, I keep everything synced with Syncthing and it’s been working really well. Android app is still rough around the edges but it does work alright.
My understanding is it was developed as an answer to Roam Research specifically, and while its model might not work for everyone, I love it.
